Another block

Well I have just one block left to go to finish my Dear Jane. But today I made this beauty. I think it is definitely  one of my favorites.

A Step Back

My Dear Jane Quilt

I started this quilt many years ago. 2002 to be exact. I had been thinking about it lately, and decide to find it and pull it out. A LOT has happened since I worked on it last. As I was keeping track of my quilt journey I know that the last time I worked on it was April 2003. That was about when I my life took a big jog to the left with a tornado like storm and my husband loosing his job all in one week. After that I guess I just never got back to it. It has been 7 years!! We have moved and thank God we have a new job. So.. I thought I might get this out and finish it. Back in the day I was very excited about this quilt. I met the author of Dear Jane, Linda Papadakis and many of her followers in Paducah, Kentucky at the AQS quilt show. It was lots of fun. I had 28 blocks made, I have decided to make just 8 more and finish this as a wall hanging. No I am not excited enough to make the 200 some blocks to finish the whole quilt. I have made a few more blocks this weekend with 3 more to go. Here are a few of the ones I just made.

 

I have put my blocks up on my design wall (make shift as it is). I am trying to remember just which blocks I have done. I also am working to even out the number of each color.

 

Thanks to the wonders of Blog land there are some great blogs to help me with my blocks. That Quilt is great. I am hoping to find a great way to finish off this wall hanging. If you have any ideas please pass them on.

Oh and yes I am still working on several other things, that are much more in my modern quilt mode. Just want to get this one done too.

4 Heather Ross mini quilts

Here they are all 4 Heather Ross quilts. I love them all. Now I just need to find the perfect place to hang them.

Mini Quilts keep coming

Here is my favorite of my series of Heather Ross quilts.

I do truly love this one!

I hope these other look as cute when I get the binding on them.

mini quilts

I just love Heather Ross fabrics and since I could only afford a very small amount, I decided to make a group of 4 mini quilts that I could then hang together as a group. So this is what I ended up with. They do not have binding yet. Also my favorite one is not in these pics. I will be finishing it today. Then I have to decide on binding for them all.

The first one is bicycles and dolls.

The secound one is Dolls and Frogs.

 Number three is  Horses and Tadpoles.

I am happy with the result. I am sure the adding of binding will really add a lot to these quilts but I wanted to share them with you right away.

Seeing Stars Finished

Oh I just love this little quilt! I made it because I saw this quilt.I had been wanting to make some of those cute wonky stars but just did not know just what I wanted. When I saw mamacjt's quilt I knew that was it.

I made 6 inch squares so my little beauty measures 18 x 18 inches. I used only fabrics I had left over from other projects, including the batting.

See Stars

I have been wanting to try these wonderful little wonky stars. I used this tutorial. They are so fun and so very cute. So I am spending the day looking out my window at the snow flurries that we are having here in North Alabama and making little stars. Tonight the Big Game. Roll Tide!!
